Produktbeschreibung

In the grand American tradition of agrarian writers such as Ken Kesey, Gary Snyder, William Kittredge, Wendell Berry, and Wallace Stegner, these three expansive stories follow a cantankerous and feisty farmer striving to make a decent living in the challenging terrain of California. The narratives, set against the backdrop of growing wine grapes and producing commercial wine, draw from real events and vividly capture the unpredictable nature of farming in this demanding state. Beyond the personal struggles of our protagonist, these tales explore the broader agricultural issues that plague farmers everywhere: government regulation, labor laws, land-use policies, irrigation standards, and the ever-rising costs of water, fertilizer, and fuel. Written with a humorous and comic touch, some readers might even find the stories veering into the realm of slapstick.

After attending UC Davis and earning a degree in fermentation science, the author made wine and established vineyards for three decades before teaching those two subjects for one more. He enjoys running, fly fishing, motorcycling, and hiking in the high country.
